Kye. Windows 3.1 only. A rare example of charityware software, in order to get the full version of this shareware game you had to make a charitable donation to a certain charity and send the dev a copy of your receipt. It's an action-puzzle game, in which the goal is to collect all the Diamonds without being touched by any of the enemies. The game had a lot of different levels to play, a level editor for making your own and sharing them with others, and a lot of different behavior from the blocks based on their appearance. Some blocks would follow a "gravity", others would remain stationary unless pushed, some would vanish on being touched.
The downside was the game often depended on the player taking advantage of some gimmicky or inconsistent behavior of the game. One level I remember required you to dump a large pile of round blocks into an area below while moving with the pile to reach a passage under the pile. Knowing what to do and how to do it didn't matter, since you would only randomly wind up in the passage and not buried under blocks. You had very little control once you started moving through the pile, since the pile pushes you, at random.
Still a fun little action puzzle game, but it does have some flaws that keep it from the level of Lolo or Fire'n Ice.
